Randy: Hey guys. Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at some valve stem extenders from Wheel Masters. These are just the straight version. Basically anytime we're dealing with dual rear wheels like this, we usually have an air fitting that's hard to get to. That inner wheel generally doesn't allow itself to be very easily accessible.
You can see on ours here, it's just basically tucked right back in the end there, and while we can kind of get to it to get the cap off the end, it's just not ideal.Generally, when you're taking this cap off, what you'll do is drop it. And then you got to, kind of, get down there and dig in-between and try to get to it. So these are available, this is a three-inch version, but they're available in a two-inch extension or a four-inch extension. You want to be sure you're not using these on a rubber valve stem, they're just too heavy. They'll kind of flop around.
But, see that's a nice steel valve stem that we have there. And by using this extender, we'll just get it started on there, threads on just like a valve stem cap will. Let me get it down, and then it's got that nut on it, we'll use a 7/16-inch wrench for that. You can go in between the tires if you need to, but we don't need to have these super tight, we just want them to be tight enough, of course, where no air is going to escape..Let me see, that's on there, nice and stiff. And then we got that Chrome cap there.
Now we've moved that out either two, three or four inches. It makes it much easier to get to. Now there are other extenders available. This one comes straight out, so this is where we're going to use the straight line. But if you look at this one, you can see with this valve stem here, it points towards the inside.
So that's where like the reverse air chuck, you can kind of get in there, hook onto it and pull out on it. But using a bent extender like this helps us out in this situation. Just depending on what your application calls for. Just allows us to get these out here where it's much more easy to get air into our tires and maintain proper pressure.You can see it's got a nice bright finish to it. It's going to come with the metal cap. In some situations people like to switch the metal cap for just the standard black plastic ones. Sometimes corrosion can be an issue and make these a little tough to get off so just keep that in mind. This is the one that's been on here for probably about a year and a half and you can see the finish is still holding up really well. There weren't any issues with leaks or anything, just like this one here. It's been on there for about a year and a half too and really no major issues with corrosion or discoloration.Overall, guys, I think these are an excellent idea. Anytime we can make it easier to properly maintain our vehicle, we're going to do it more often. When tire pressures get low or if we don't check them often enough, it can cause safety issues. If not safety issues it can cause weird wear on our tires and things like that. So if I had a set of dual rear wheels like this, I would definitely extend them out, make them easier to get to, an easier to maintain.

These straight valve extenders make it easy to access the valve stems on your tires. Each sturdy, nickel-plated brass tube is 4" long and screws onto your existing valve stem. Includes 2 extenders with caps.The quality seems very good. The extender is very sturdy and secured very well to the valve stem. I am very happy with the product and the shipping was fast.
Great! Perfect fit when the inner tire on my duals has the built in 90 degree valve stem
Exactly what I ordered and timely.
Perfect fit and they work great!
Gave me the distance needed to easily attach an add-on tire pressure sensor on inside duallies. Been working for about a year now.
Hex nut allows you to tighten it with a small wrench, rather than a pair of pliers.
Makes it much easier to check your tires without having to remove your wheel covers
worked so far

well after a while one of the valves started leaking.so I removed all of them.
Wouldn't buy this again. I have 2018 F450. Anyone with a dually knows what a pain it is to check and or add air to the inside rear tires. I had to bend these extensions to clear the outside wheels.
The dual long stem and stabilizer extensions and my ability to check the tire pressure, are very effective and functioning , BUT one valve stem leaked 6 months ago and was replaced by American Tire in Palm Springs. Unfortunately I did not have them installed on the front tires of my RV.
These were very easy to install and were just as described - liked the price - shipped
quickly and the quality was well above what I expected - still on motorhome and no
leaks - makes checking air pressure a breeze now!

Same as before - excellent product and like them even more.
As I said for the 2” extensions, the end that screws to the valve stem of the wheel spins like a garden hose end. So it is difficult to tighten to valve stem of inside dual unless you have small hands to reach through the holes on steel dual wheels and use a open end wrench. I had to use a crows foot, extension and ratchet to snug it up. This is the reason for the four star rating. Wish the would have put a fixed nut at the outer end of extension, that would have made my installation much easier. Product is good quality though.
This is perfect for my inner tire of the dually on my motor home, it was so hard to put air into my tire, now it’s much easier and it’s made in the USA, it’s good quality. etrailer emails me every step of the way, from packaging, shipping and delivered, a very happy customer here.
Made in the usa extensions with a hex for tightening them down properly. Straight up the best extensions ive found for sale (yeah i reviewed the 135 degree ones too). Etrailer does not disappoint and wheel masters has a far superior product thats made in the usa !!!! win win win
They provided enough clearance to accomodate my pressure sensors on the inside duals.
Excellent Customer Service, also the 4' air valve extensions works excellent on my dually truck, much appreciations & thumbs up. !
Simple product was as advertised. As ever, amazingly quick delivery from etrailer.
Fast, Easy to use and up to speed on tracking. Thanks would buy from again and tell others to do the same.
Prompt delivery. Correct order. Great follow up.
Arrived on time, in good condition, and well packed. Easy to install and use.
Works as design

The end that screws onto the tire valve is not a rigid connection so these are difficult to install. I taped the end which allowed them to be installed.
Gave me all the information and took my order. Knowing I needed the items quickly he made sure the order was shipped in time. Notified me as soon as it shipped. Excellent service.

The extenders have been working perfectly. No issues whatsoever. Many miles driven in my RV and they have not leaked.
